I think those of us 45+ were terrorized by this warning.
And it seems in the mid to late 80s everyone knew someone whose friend of a friend died from TSS, for real! Just like everyone knew this one kid whose cousin’s best friend’s mom died from contaminated Tylenol.
Our 80s lives were filled with news horror stories verified by testimonies of “real life eyewitness experience once-removed” which somehow elevated and personalized the concern and made it 10x scarier than the Internet. Those stories stay with you.

You have it backwards; it is ten-times worse with the internet and Social of today. Anxiety is now an epidemic (especially among kids).

I'm with pp, the 80s were horrible for that. There was some girl kidnapped and my parents would death grip hold my hand in public places. There were photo and fingerprint stations in shopping malls where kids could get an id page done up just in case.

Anxiety is definitely worse now, but its not for those reasons, its for people's insta vacations and YouTube shorts.
